You need:
1 piece 23" x 11" 100% cotton decorator fabric. (no metallic glitz or metal embellishment on the fabric!)
1 piece 23" x 11" 100% cotton fabric for lining
1 piece 23" x 11" 100% cotton Warm Tater TM batting or 2 - 3 pieces same sized 100% cotton quilt batting
100% cotton thread
Layer the fabrics as below. If you are using multi pieces of cotton batting, layer together to provide a thicker batting.
Use a walking foot on your machine and quilt all layers together at least a hand span apart. (Prevents the batting from shifting when you wash the bag.) What is a walking foot? It is a machine foot attachment that works in opposite motion to your needle. When your needle goes down to catch the bobbin thread, the foot comes up. This helps evenly feed the multi layers of fabric when sewing.
Finish all edges with either a zigzag stitch or serge but make sure you use cotton thread!
Fold over about 1/2" and stitch the 2 shorter edges.
With right sides together, fold the short edges to the middle, overlapping the edges by about 1". Stitch both of the side edges. 
Turn pocket inside out and voila!
A couple notes of caution ...the finished bag must be at least 1" away from the walls and door of the microwave. Adjust pattern size if necessary. If your microwave has a turntable, the bag must be able to rotate freely or your potato will become scorched. If you don't have a turntable, turn the bag over at the midpoint of the suggested cook time to prevent scorching.
Do not leave microwave unattended while cooking.
Wash raw vegetables prior to cooking. Drying is not necessary as extra moisture aids cooking.
Wash bag regularly to remove bits of cooked veggies in the bag.
Potatoes - 2 large = 8 minutes (based on 1100 watt microwave. Adjust cooking time depending on the power of your microwave.Red potatoes - 2 large = 8 minutes
Sweet potatoes - 2 medium = 10 minutes
Corn on the cob - 2 large = 6 minutes
Hungry anyone?
Thanks for this! I was just at the One Of A Kind show and there was a booth selling these for an exorbitant price! I'm glad I didn't buy one. They were also selling bread storage bags but they had a "food safe" plastic lining which didn't appeal. I wonder if there is an alternative for those.
